This paper presents advancements in multi-class vehicle detection using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) cameras through the development of spatiotemporal object detection models. The study introduces a new dataset, the Spatio-Temporal Vehicle Detection Dataset (STVD), containing 6,600 annotated sequential frame images captured by UAVs. This dataset enables comprehensive training and evaluation of algorithms for holistic spatiotemporal perception. A YOLO-based object detection algorithm is enhanced to incorporate temporal dynamics, resulting in improved performance over single-frame models. The integration of attention mechanisms into spatiotemporal models is shown to further enhance performance. Experimental validation demonstrates significant progress, with the best spatiotemporal model exhibiting a 16.22% improvement over single-frame models.

This research paper improves the ability to detect vehicles using cameras on drones. The team created a new dataset of images taken by drones and used it to train computers to recognize vehicles in both space and time. They also developed a way to make their algorithm better at recognizing vehicles by incorporating information from previous frames. This approach led to a 16% improvement over previous methods. The paper shows that this technology has the potential to be even better if they add more features.
